and hatuence after, are among the successive
indicia of this harrassing complaint. Two
things only nee aful for its removal. resort
to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. and persistence
in its use. Thes- remedial measures being adopt
ed. cure is certain Taken Immediately before
or after meals, this great stomachic promotes Sc

ACTING SECRETARY MULDRow has rem
dered a decision in the Louisiana swamp
land cases, modifying his decision of
March 25 last, which required the state to
elect whether the field notes of survey
shall be made the final adjustment of the
swamp land grants. It appearing from
papers filed in the case since the decision
of March 25 that the state, by an act OF
the legislature approved March p, 1850
elected to accept the field notes in max.
ing swamp land selections, the acting
secretary decides that a re- election by the
state is unnecessary, and he therefore
eliminates from his decision that req uire
ment.
